SectionDance
Dance covers the floor and the scenes around it: sound systems and room acoustics, resident nights, crowd behavior, door policy, and the cities where a given sound is currently strongest. Venue closures and licensing fights are reported too. Written for regulars, promoters and anyone judging a night by the room.
DanceElection-night totals are never final. A canvass reconciles every ballot, a designated official certifies the count, and for president a federal law forces the state to lock in its result six days before electors meet.
